It's a gap in the web platform that there's no solid cross-browser way to automatically adapt these sorts of control layouts to the user's actual keyboard layout. :( I type Dvorak too, and just have to switch to qwerty for certain games and things like this (both web and native).

Hmm, caniuse doesn't seem to have it, I'll have to look for info.

Edit: ah, and looks like Fx38 will be the very first to have it. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1126673
